Abstract: <p>The epoxides of oligomeric self-metathesized soybean oil (MSBO) and cross-metathesized palm oil (PMTAG) and canola oil (CMTAG) containing terminal double bonds were used to produce nonisocyanate polyurethanes (NIPUs) as well as anhydride, amine and thiol-cured epoxies. </p><p>The synthesized NIPUs displayed metal adhesive properties for CMTAG and MSBO with MSBO being favoured… more

Lipid-derived Thermoplastic Poly(ester urethane)s: Effect of Structure on Physical Properties

Name(s): Creator (cre): Shetranjiwalla, Shegufta, Thesis advisor (ths): NARINE, SURESH S, Thesis advisor (ths): Vreugdenhil, Andrew, Degree committee member (dgc): Metcalfe, Chris, Degree committee member (dgc): Dawson, Peter, Degree granting institution (dgg): Trent University
Abstract: <p>Thermoplastic poly(ester urethane)s (TPEU)s derived from vegetable oils possess inferior physical properties compared to their entirely petroleum-based counterparts due to the structural limitations and lower reactivity of the precursor lipid-derived monomers. The present work shows that high molecular weight of TPEUs with enhanced performance can be obtained from lipid-derived monomers… more
